Get in

By train

Treviso is on the line connecting Venezia with Udine. A one way ticket to Venezia is less than €3 for the 30 km and half an hour trip.

By plane

Treviso is served by Venezia (Treviso) Airport (TSF) [6], which is mainly used by low cost companies like Ryanair.

In order to get from the airport to the Treviso Train Station (Treviso Centrale), you must get the line 6 bus [7].

Many national/regional roads originate in or pass through the city.

Treviso is also connected with Venice through the Terraglio SS13 main road characterized by a beautiful green landscape and ancient villas advisable for easy biking tours and itineraries for cycling holidays.

Get around

On foot

Discovering the city on foot is very easy. The historic center is actually quite small, so you can go around in the narrow streets.

By bus

The local buses are ok, but by night there are quite few. Fares are €1 within Treviso Comune and €1.50 ouside.

By car

It is better to avoid driving your own car, as there are lots of oneway streets in Treviso and a oneway ringroad around the walled city.

By bike

With the local rental bike shops you can make a good excursion at Palladian Villas. Ask locals for the Restera, a nice track all along Sile River. If you are brave, you can reach the Venetian Lagoon.

Landmarks

Museums

Do

Go in Seminario Vescovile di Treviso, in via S. Nicolò and ask to go in the "Stanza affrescata" by Tommaso da Modena: on the wall, beetween others, there is the first monk painted with spectacles in History of Painting.

Eat Tiramisu. It was 'created' in Treviso, at Ristorante le Beccherie in Piazza Ancillotto. Unfortunaltely today there is no a special place to eat Tiramisu. I have seen a Pasticceria near the Rail way station, with the tiramisu made with savoiardi biscuits, the original recipe.

Buy

Local food like radicchio rosso and wine, but it is better to shop in the small towns in the countryside.

Clothes and shoes: outlets are everywhere, if you go to Montebelluna, you will find shoe outlets (Geox, Diadora and so on).
